You might want to remortgage if:

"Interest rates are higher than they have been in a number of years, so it's important to get the right remortgage deal. Make sure you speak to a whole-of-market broker well in advance of your current mortgage ending, to avoid going on to your lender's standard variable rate, which is usually more expensive."
are a type of loan used to buy a property. The mortgage is secured against the value of the property.
are where you only pay back the interest each month. When your mortgage term comes to an end, you still owe exactly what you borrowed at the start.
aren't that different from a regular mortgage. But there are some important differences.
You usually only need to revalue your property if you’re changing mortgage lender. If you’re staying with your current lender, a full valuation isn't generally required making it a bit more straightforward.
If you’re looking to borrow more against the value of your home, you normally do need a valuation.
The lower the LTV ratio, normally the better remortgage deals and rates you can access. The cheapest rates are normally available for those with a 60% LTV or lower.
The equity you have in your home will determine your LTV ratio for remortgaging. But you can also put down additional money to boost your deposit amount and reduce the LTV ratio.
You can remortgage to release equity in your home to allow you to borrow more than what you currently own on your existing mortgage.
Whether you can remortgage to a larger mortgage depends on your affordability and the LTV ratio you're looking to borrow.
Alternatively, you can look into taking out a second mortgage which means you keep your existing mortgage and take out another one. But this does mean you'll have to keep up with 2 loan repayments on the same property.
You may be able to remortgage if you have bad credit. Some lenders offer bad credit mortgages but it normally depends on the severity of your credit issues.
There are specialist brokers who deal with adverse credit, and might be able to help you find a lender that can consider your application.
You may be able to remortgage if you're self-employed. But you need to evidence that you're earning enough to cover the loan repayments, normally via providing a few years of full accounts or SA302 end-of-year tax calculations.
Certain lenders are also more flexible with self-employed applicants. Mojo Mortgages may be able to help identify which banks and building societies are best suited for your circumstances.
Different mortgage lenders have different age limits, so it’s best to check with yours first if you want to remortgage.
Some may have an age limit for starting a mortgage and others for when the mortgage term comes to an end.
There are also a few lenders who don't have any age restrictions.
YOU SHOULD THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME/PROPERTY. YOUR HOME/PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
